A List of Some of My Favorite Lenses 

Amaryllis

This lens is about our eBay store Amaryllis Express and of course, the flower known as Amaryllis! We also have another on-line store named Classic Treasures, with hundreds of other items that aren't even listed elsewhere! Although the selection varies, you will find many of the following brand names...

Japanese Flowering Cherry

This lens is about one of the most beautiful ornamental trees, the Japanese Flowering Cherry. Flowering cherry trees (known as 'ornamental cherries') have the stamens and pistils replaced by additional petals ("double" flowers), so are sterile and do not bear fruit.

Albatross

This lens is about the Albatross, the largest bird in the world. If you are passionate about the Environment and Nature WITHOUT being radical or fanatic in your thinking (such as spray-painting fur-coats, or rejecting membership applications to animal lovers' clubs / groups from people who enjoy fur and leather items) you're welcome to join my Squidoo group Nature and Environment.

Kutani Porcelain

This lens is about one of my favorite Japanese Antique porcelain styles named KUTANI. I hope you'll enjoy reading about it! It is not only beautiful and highly valuable, but also rich in historical and Artistic content.

Imari Porcelain

This lens is one in a series of lenses I will write about Asian Antiques, especially Japanese and Chinese Art. I always admired the intricate beauty of old Japanese porcelain and earthenware. In this lens I will introduce the reader to the Imari style, which is probably the easiest to recognize

Satsuma Porcelain Japan

This lens is about Japanese Satsuma porcelain, one in a series of lenses I will write about Asian Antique ware.

Sequoia Tree

See the huge dark thing behind the little green tree on the picture? That's a Giant Seqouia Sempervirens! (Shh, the little tree is about 24 feet tall). Fossil findings prove that the ancestors of redwood trees were wide-spread on Earth up to a time point sometime 175 million years ago. Then came the...

Sevres Porcelain France

In this lens I will decribe the origin, the history and the characetristics of Sèvres Porcelain. Sevres porcelain was known for centuries in France as the Porcelain of the Kings and the King of Porcelains [Le Roi des Porcelains et Le Porcelain des Roix]. The first soft paste porcelain...

Herend Porcelain

If you have read my other lens about the Monarch, by now it should be no secret for you that I love orange butterflies. Herend Fortuna porcelain is satisfying two needs of mine, (1) that of aesthetics, and (2) that of surrounding myself with orange butterflies. Although it is very expensive, ...

Meissner Porcelain Dresden Germany

This lens is about the Meissner porcelain, an admired European antique, that came to being more or less by coincidence. Wouldn't it be for the almost obsessive collection lust of August the Strong, Elector of Saxony (1694-1733)

Blanc de Chine

Blanc de Chine also known as Dehua or Monochrome porcelain is called so because it involves items without colorful details, made in one color only which is usually white (blanc = white in French). Cherished by Chinese and Western connoisseurs des Arts for more than 300 years, blanc de Chine...

Oscar de la Renta

This lens is about my all time favorite fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. He understands feminine elegance and female beauty like only a few others in the fashion industry. A multiply talented Artist, his message is clearly...
